The White House claims they didn’t approve letting the Russian photographer into the meeting but who knows the truth at this point. Russia poured some salt in the wound by releasing the photos and none of it helps the Trump administration’s image. Luckily, according to Wired, the lapse in security likely wouldn’t be as devastating as some would think:

“It’s certainly possible that anybody could plant something. In theory, anything’s possible,” says Phil Polstra, a digital forensics professor at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania who studies low-power surveillance devices. “But the reality is it would be pretty hard to do anything…

“I can’t imagine that our country wouldn’t shield the Oval Office. That’s like security 101,” Polstra says. Any material with the right conductivity or magnetism can act as a shield. There’s even electromagnetic shield paint.

“That’s luke security 101…” soooo, Trump probably doesnt do it. He’s avoided doing the obvious, sensible thing at every turn. In fact i bet he had all of the existing defenses removed so that Obama couldnt wiretap him!

That Between The Scenes clip is the best I have ever seen Trevor Noah. They need to give him that kind of freedom on air. His perspective in matters like Trump/Russia, coming from a dictatorial society, are very important to hear. Thanks for sharing.
